You guys are right, too many variables. I have to come up with a better plan. I don't have a chrono so there is no checking speed. As for the wind and the flag, I did the best I could with what I had. I was using a club range so there was no setting it up to my liking. Since I was by myself I didn't have someone to check the wind for me. This is a low budget project with limited resources. I'm doing the best I can with what I have. The results may be inconclusive .

I can’t cure your lack of chronograph but with the wind flags there are alternatives.
1. Get or make a 24-36” garden stake. Around here the plastic ones go for about 2 bucks.
2. Surveyors tape any color. Price on that has jumped quite a bit since I bought. About 7 bucks for 100 ft.
3. Tie a 1.5 - 2ft. Piece of tape to the stake or whatever length you want. Place the stake in a position and height where you can see it through the scope but doesn’t obscure your target. You now have a crude but visible wind flag. Make up different heights or as many as you want and place them at different yardages. Crude but effective.
I can’t help with the stakes but if needed send me your address by PM and I will send you a roll of surveyors tape at no cost to you.
Again I applaud your efforts but you gotta understand that we can be a very critical audience.
